Gaak. Is there a smiley missing here? ;)
Nah, I included the word `today'.
But even on other days, I'd prefer the default configuration of Emacs
to be as CUA compliant as possible, and then some. Obviously, this
would require a `tranditional-mode'. And even with that, it is a lost
cause. So I shut up the rest of the year.
Having thus lost all credibility, I can comment on CR's proposal,
which apparently isn't specific for this day. I believe it is a bad
idea, even though it is what 99% of the users will want. I think
programs should be stupid, until the user explicitly tells them to be
smart. In a text editor, something as basic as the carriage return
key should only insert a new line, not try to be smart. Not by
default. Once the user has discovered what the `C' or `TeX' in the
second line from the bottom means, he can start change the defaults.
Maybe it should be easier to enable `smart return' though.
